The Best Hand Slot Items for Melee, Ranged, Magic, and Prayer

Today we will introduce the best hand slot items in the OSRS game. What's the best for Melee, Ranged, or Magic? Let's find the answer below.

Melee Bonus

Stab/Slash/Crush Attack

Ferocious gloves, which offer +16 Stab/Slash/Crush attack bonuses, are the best choice. But please note that these gloves don't offer any defensive stats bonuses and reduce your ranged & magic attack stats bonuses.

You can make them at the Lithkren Vault (accessible after the Dragon Slayer II quest) with a hammer and the Hydra leather (dropped by the Alchemical Hydra). You can revert the gloves to the Hydra leather by visiting the Lithkren Vault with a hammer.

The second-best gloves are Barrows gloves (+12 to all), which you can purchase for 130,000 OSRS gold coins from the Culinaromancer's Chest in the Lumbridge Castle cellar after completing the Recipe for Disaster quest. Then comes the Dragon gloves (+9 to all), Rune gloves/Dragonstone gauntlets/Regen bracelet (+8 to all). And the Adamant gloves and Combat bracelet provide a +7 Stab/Slash/Crush attack bonus.

Strength

Ferocious gloves, which provide a +14 strength bonus, are also the best for the strength bonus. Then comes the Barrows gloves (+12), Dragon gloves (+9), Rune gloves (+8), Granite gloves (dropped by the Grotesque Guardians)/Regen bracelet/Adamant gloves (+7). Both Regen bracelet and Granite gloves are tradeable, and you can buy them from the Grand Exchange.

Ranged Bonus

Ranged Attack

The best gloves are Zaryte vambraces, dropped by Nex, providing a +18 ranged attack bonus. And you can also purchase them for more than 200M OSRS gold coins from the Grand Exchange.

The second-best ones are Barrow gloves (+12), and then comes the Black spiky vambraces/3rd age vambraces/God bracers/Ranger gloves/Black d'hide vambraces (+11).

Ranged Strength

Zaryte vambraces are the only gloves that provide a +2 ranged strength.

Magic Bonus

Magic Attack

The best item is the Tormented bracelet, which provides a +10 Magic attack bonus. Firstly, use a gold bar, a zenyte, and a bracelet mould to make a Zenyte bracelet at the furnace with 95 Crafting. Then cast the Lvl-7 Enchant spell on it with 93 Magic, 20 soul runes, 20 blood runes, and 1 cosmic rune. Or you can purchase it from the Grand Exchange.

Then comes the Barrows gloves (+6), Dragon gloves/Infinity gloves (+5), and Rune gloves/Adamant gloves/Bloodbark gauntlets (purchased from Grand Exchange)/Lunar gloves (created during the Lunar Diplomacy quest) (+4). Or you can use the Regen bracelet, Combat bracelet, Gloves of darkness, Mystic gloves, and Swampbark gauntlets, purchased from the Grand Exchange, providing a +3 Magic attack bonus.

Magic Damage

The only item is the Tormented bracelet that provides a +5% Magic damage bonus.

Prayer Bonus

Holy wraps provide a +3 Prayer bonus, which is the best. Then comes the Tormented bracelet (+2), Zaryte vambraces/Ancient ceremonial gloves (bought from the Grand Exchange)/White gloves (bought from Sir Vyvin after completing the Wanted! quest or from the Grand Exchange)/God bracers (+1).
